US Economy Adds Only 114K Jobs; Unemployment Now 7.8%... Total Employment 'Highest One-Month Jump In 29 years' & Right Before Election!!

The numbers are false in that if you only work say like 10 hours a week, they consider you employed. Companies are not hiring (small - medium size businesses) because of the threat of Obozocare!

"The economy also created 86,000 more jobs in July and August than first estimated. The revisions show employers added 146,000 jobs per month from July through September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months."

They went through previous months’ data and revised each month to find 500K more jobs.

I’ve followed jobs reports for years. I’ve never seen this happen before.

the part i REALLY love is where they found out that govt added 67,000 new jobs when it had been thought there were losses..I mean really they are not even trying to cover the lies, its almost like they sit around thinking " hey, how fucked up can we make these numbers and our base still buys it! " I mean lets think, after the debate there were about 25% on average in polls who thought Obama actually won...so Im guessing they could have said the unemployment rate dropped to 5% and those same people would say HELL YEA GO OBAMA!....all that matters now is what the last 5-10% of independents and undecided think, just PRAY they dont buy numbers like this or we r screwed!

crock of shit.

The revised numbers will show it higher. This is the same trick they have been playing for a few years now.

He's right. It's something like 30 months in a row they have come out with one number and then revised it towards the bad side a month later. Just because you don't know what's been going on is no reason to tell someone else to STFU.

I don't think the Independents out of work, or worse yet, working two-three jobs will buy it..

Those that support OBummer are either on one of his entitlement program, or have so much money that they could care less..

Don't know if there is a god, if there is not, I understand why they might have made one up. To make humans think about what they do. To make them accountable. Can you imagine what man is capable of, unchecked. It was to make man pause and ponder, before he makes a choice. Sometimes it helps, other times not so much.

Actually, those not looking for work anymore, recent college grads who never got on the roles, and those who've taken part time work - far below what they make before, makes it far greater than 20%... .

It's real, dumbasses.

For one thing, the Bureau of Labor Statistics isn’t currently run by a political appointee. For most of Obama’s term, the commissioner was a Bush holdover. The current acting commissioner John Gavin is a career BLS economist, not an Obama appointee.

The underlying data behind the BLS reports is also publicly released and used by analysts across the private sector and academia, meaning a conspiracy would have to survive scrutiny from trained economists of all political stripes.
